animal healing

I have always known that pets can be helpful to people with their health and wellbeing, but I never gave much thought to animals needing healing themselves for their own general health. As part of training as a healer we learn through the Code of Conduct what legal requirements there are when giving healing to animals, though we never did contact healing with animals on the course itself.

For several years as a qualified healer I did not specifically work with animals, but when a friend suggested that my healing abilities helped her dog (photograph below – animal reading lessons not included!) I began to explore this work further. Last year I watched an excellent DVD by Magrit Coates on healing dogs, cats, horses, and rabbits. I then read Rupert Sheldrake’s book Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home, a fascinating read and investigation into dogs and their owners and telepathy, psychic or sixth sense. I also am a fairly regular listener to JoAnne Good’s weekly Barking at the Moon show on BBC London 94.9 fm and am learning a lot from their discussions about dogs, their behaviour, different ways they can be helped and all the helpful organisations out there looking after animals.

In March this year I was fortunate to take Elizabeth Whiter’s one day course in Animal Healing at the College of Psychic Studies, and it was wonderful to see in practice how the different dogs we worked with became more relaxed during the healing session, and a sense of calm and vitality were very present. Since then I have given a healing session to a friend’s dog and can vouch that relaxation certainly took place.

Distant healing can also be sent to animals and one example I know of is a friend’s cat abroad who has recently received distant healing from people in the UK and the cat’s health showing signs of improvement. Some people simply send healing without any imagery whilst others ‘tune in’ and get a picture of the animal and what healing my be needed.

If you are interested in distant healing or a contact session for your dog or cat let me know and we can discuss this.

Harry Edwards and The Healing Trust

The Healing Trust – formerly known as the National Federation of Spiritual Healers – came into existence in 1954 with Harry Edwards becoming the first Member and President until 1973. Harry Edwards was a well known healer who also campaigned for healers to work with the medical profession. Many GP’s referred people to him. He gave healing to millions of people, including public demonstrations at the Albert Hall and Trafalgar Square. Some fascinating footage of his work is on You Tube  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1986614043233440386  The Harry Edwards Healing Sanctuary is in Shere, near Guildford, Surrey and offers healing and training.

The Healing Trust has centres throughout the UK where healing is given by trained healers on a donation basis. In August 2011 I became an accredited full member of the organisation, and currently volunteer at the Hampstead HTC branch based at Friends Meeting House, 120 Heath St, NW3 on Tuesday evenings 7-8.30pm. For more information about the Healing Trust their website is www.thehealingtrust.org.uk

The 50+ Show

On July 15th and 16th 2011 I was fortunate to be able to offer healing within the Health Zone at The 50+ Show at London Olympia. This show is aimed at people 50+ who wish to make the most out of life: Positivity, Activity and Creativity the website says! It certainly turned out to be very positive and creative, and incredibly active, and I was surprised at how many people were not only interested in healing but also willing to have a healing session in public. That people were willing to sit in the Grand Hall, Olympia, and allow a healing session to take place with all the other wonderful distractions of the show, and with music and talk in the foreground – some nice music thankfully – well, I would like to say thanks. Many of the people who had healing were trying it for the first time, whilst for some it was several years since they had previously had a healing session. I received a lot of positive feedback, I learnt a lot about some of the problems people have within this age group, and I found the two days at the show a great experience for myself as well. All the best to everyone who came along.

creative visualisation

Creative Visualisation can be a powerful tool for accessing our own creativity and self-healing. We have all probably heard of athletes imagining crossing the finishing line first as part of their psychological race preparation. Similarly, day dreaming about being on a beach can make us feel as though we have had some rest and some much-needed sunlight! I often ask people to imagine themselves in a particular place that may be helpful to them whilst the healing session is taking place. I also work with visualisation during Deep Memory Process as an initial point of access to the work and as a tool for integration.

Our minds and imagination are very powerful, and yet not everything in life may be as we would wish it be. This might be for many different reasons, some of which we understand and some of which we don’t. By using creative visualisation however I do believe changes can take place which can help us to improve our health, relationships, work and life situation.
